What do you think happened to the floors in this house?

Front room red carpet and loft bathroom. Both have very stained floors but the ceilings look ok. pic here

What exactly is it about the walls that shows the damp? I'm trying to see it but I don't!

It looks like trouble to me. 500k minus 200k to have the place fixed. It needs new floors judging by that and I didn't notice if it's listed. I'd imagine so. More £££
Not a lot of bang for your buck.

Can anybody link to the 2017 photos please?

It almost looks too bad to be damp. Is it unoccupied? Could the radiators all that leaked when they were turned off and it’s been left to sit for months and months?

Flooding in 2020 ?

State of the roof in picture 7 might be a clue.

Eeek that has money pit written all over it. And it's absolutely tiny. And they want someone to pay half a mill?

Reduced 7th April, I wonder how long it's been on for?

Given the deterioration from last listing to now I’d say either flooding or a hoarder.

Never mind the floors did someone add a 0 to the price by accident ?! 😬

I like the way they describe it as having scope to modernise. And an estate agent really ought to know how to spell "borders".

Cute house? For 1/2 million, I too wouldn't touch it with a barge pole and my 2 x bil's are builders.

Click on Nearby sold prices on RH side. It's 3rd one down (#4).

It looks like the whole place has been submerged in water for weeks. Although the cooker has been taken out so I wonder if it was someone who couldn't be trusted not to leave it on all night.

Third one down when I click on that is a property in Parchment street which clearly isn't this one?

Half a bloody million for that pile of damp rubbish!!!!

Really @Luculentus? They're all on the same street on my Rightmove.

Winch! I’m in the area and will use this to explain to colleagues why I am also looking in Basingstoke villages and outskirts of Southampton. Winchester is just so damn expensive.

That link takes you to the same house before the “flood” @Clymene

It’s quite sad that the house has deteriorated so much in 5 years.

Oh good! Because that's what @LovelyLovelyWarmCoffee was asking for.

It is a different woodburner.
I do think there has been flood damage though.

Not so much spontaneously combusted as quietly died and rotted unnoticed, poor souls. But seriously I think that was a hoarder house which has been stripped and staged, badly. Those internal walls will need to be demolished and rebuilt.

My thoughts exactly, that house is a shit show!!

How did it get so wrecked in a few years? That’s awful.

@JennyJumpup here:
this one's the total give away, though the area around the fireplace isn't great, either.
Also, the one which shows the inside of the front door and the underside of the stairs- that vertical board is bent and the skirting below it appears fuzzy.

I wonder whether it was a catalogue of disasters- first the flood, then furniture piled upstairs and the house left empty, then a roof leak on top.
